The results of isolation in this research showed prevalence of Candida albicans at 35.7% which isolated from 70 samples of infected women who suffered from vaginal thrush compared with other infected agent. In vitro antifungal activities of ethanolic and aqueous( hot and cold distilled water) extracts of Quercus infectoria galls were tested against growth of C. albicans and C.glabrata in different concentration , showed that ethanolic extracts of Quercus infectoria was more effective against C. albicans at concentration 700mg/ml while the aqueous( hot and cold distilled water) extracts were more effective against C.glabrata compared with growth of C. albicans at same extracts .

The poultry industry faces increasing challenges from heat stress caused by global warming, particularly in tropical regions. Heat stress, caused by rising environmental temperatures, undermines the health and productivity of poultry, resulting in significant economic losses. This review comprehensively addresses the physiological and behavioural responses of poultry to heat stress and explores the key mitigation strategies, categorized under genetics, management and feeding. Genetic approaches, like utilizing specific genes in breeding, show promise but require wider adoption. Management practices such as housing design, including orientation, insulation and ventilation, controlled lighting and thermal manipulation are critical to maint
